Check your Security
Thu, 12 Aug 2010, 11:45 amJust a friendly reminder to all out there to watch your security. When creating an account, it is in your best interest to create a password that is not easy to guess. There are a number of things you can do the improve your chances here and they include;
- do not use words or names that are immediately associated with who you are (like your username, real name, address, etc)
- include a variety of numbers, letters and icons (* $ # etc) where you can
- increase the length of your password - 4 characters is much easier to guess than say 12
- avoid using complete words of any kind or at least bre@k +hem (u)p wi+h 0+her characters
- change it regularly
Why do I post this? Well it would appear that someone has been trying guess peoples passwords, including mine, so I thought it a timely reminder.
